Rane Roatta, Miami Fruit (Cuban sandwich debate, Miami Spice preview)
Rane Roatta’s Homestead farm, Miami Fruit, figured out early on that if they posted videos of the phallic-looking rare exotic fruit they grow, those videos would go viral.
Imagine that — the internet likes phallic things!
Rane and his partner Edelle Schlegel have been growing ultra-rare exotic fruit in the Redland for more than 8 years. They also partner with hundreds of local farmers to sell this fruit strictly online to the tropical-fruit barren places across the country. He’s a talented musician, a competitive cyclist — He’s going to Italy for a championship race soon — and he’s devoted to living an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
PLUS! New fodder for the Cuban sandwich origin debate. Havana (duh!) and New York (yikes!) have entered the chat!
My guest co-host is Alex Harris, the Miami Herald environmental writer and host of the podcast "Smoked," which tells the story of Randy Lanier, who financed a racing team by dealing marijuana(!).
